Doubling Down on Efficiency: Cathay Group Orders 32 Additional A320neo Family Aircraft, Expanding Total Orders to 64

Cathay Group has purchased an additional 32 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft doubling the Cathay Group’s total orders for the family of aircraft to 64. 13 of these have already been delivered.

These additional aircraft will include the A321neo and A320neo. They will join the fleets of Cathay Pacific and HK Express to serve destinations in the Chinese Mainland and elsewhere in Asia as part of the airlines’ recovery and growth plans.

The A320neo Family integrates cutting-edge innovations such as next-generation engines, Sharklets, and aerodynamic enhancements, resulting in a reduction of at least 20 percent in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Having received over 9,700 orders from over 130 customers, the A320neo Family is the most widely favoured single-aisle aircraft worldwide.

“Operating out of the Cathay Group’s base at the heart of Asia, the A320neo family will enable it to expand its services across the region with a most efficient single aisle fleet and a positive passenger comfort differentiation. With a significant reduction in fuel consumption, the aircraft will also bring an immediate contribution to the Cathay Group’s sustainability goals.”
